Gnani.ai, a trailblazing startup specializing in voice-based generative artificial intelligence (AI), has successfully raised $4 million (Rs 30 crore) in its Series A funding round.
This investment, led by Info Edge Ventures, signifies the growing investor interest in the burgeoning voice AI segment.
Gnani.ai plans to utilize the newly raised capital to drive sales growth and expand its business across various geographies. This strategic investment will enable the company to scale its operations and reach a broader market, enhancing its position as a leader in voice-first AI technology.
Founded in 2016 by industry veterans Ganesh Gopalan and Ananth Nagaraj, Gnani.ai offers a no-code voice-first platform with a suite of advanced product capabilities. These include Omnichannel Conversational Automation, Agent Assist, Voice Biometrics, and Omnichannel Analytics. The platform’s innovative solutions have already made a significant impact, particularly in the financial sector, where it has helped institutions collect over $2 billion from their end customers in the past six months.
Expressing his excitement about the new investment, Ganesh Gopalan stated, “We are thrilled to welcome Info Edge Ventures to our journey. Their support will be instrumental in our mission to revolutionize voice automation.” Gnani.ai has also recently introduced a series of Voice-first AI SLM (Small Language Models), initially targeting sectors such as banking, insurance, automotive, and retail. These models are designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of voice interactions in these industries.
Gnani.ai’s journey has been marked by impressive growth and strong investor confidence. With Samsung Ventures already on its list of investors, the company has now raised around $8 million to date. The successful Series A funding round further underscores the potential and promise of Gnani.ai’s voice-first AI solutions.
The rise of Gnani.ai is part of a broader trend in India, where the voice-based AI market is capturing significant investor attention. Other notable players in this space include Sarvam AI, which recently raised over $45 million to focus on large language models tailored for India’s diverse linguistic landscape. Additionally, seed-stage firms like VoiceOwl and Rabbitt AI have also successfully secured funding, highlighting the increasing momentum in the voice AI sector.
With the latest infusion of capital, Gnani.ai is poised to accelerate its growth trajectory and expand its innovative solutions to new markets. The company’s no-code platform, combined with its advanced voice-first AI capabilities, positions it well to lead the transformation of how businesses interact with their customers.
